Although Li Songran agreed with Fu Qingshuang's statement in his heart, he was very entangled, and sighed: "Anyway, now that the government is wanted, everything is a foregone conclusion." I don't even know if I should go to the wake or not, maybe my uncle really ......."

"My aunt refuses to do the funeral, and Ah Pu wants to do it; The clan must have a family head token to recognize the patriarch, and Ah Pu wants to be the patriarch, but there is no token; Ah Jin was wanted again with a bounty, ......, alas, if his uncle really didn't die and found him out, then everything could be solved. Fu Qingshuang said helplessly.

"If Dad is really fine, there must be a reason why he doesn't come out."

"So, come on, come on, let's figure it out." Fu Qingshuang looked at the two of them.

As soon as these words came out, no one spoke. After a while, Li Songran said softly: "Alas, it's good that Ah Jin is here, he always has a way." ”

"Huh." Fu Qingshuang chuckled: "This is a way, go find him!" Anyway, he was wanted with a bounty. for five thousand taels of silver, and many people sought him. Fortunately, the government has to live, otherwise he will be really in trouble. ”

"Sister-in-law disregards her mother's opinion and prepares for the funeral?" Nangong Wan looked at Li Songran and asked, "What else did you hear?" ”

"I didn't pay attention to anything else. I just thought that my aunt had Sister Xiaoyao watching, so it should be no problem. ”

Nangong Wan shook her head, "If my mother finds out, I will scold her, it doesn't seem to make sense for my sister-in-law to do this." ”

"Leave the family alone, continue to discuss ours." Fu Qingshuang said.

Nangong Wan asked puzzledly: "Xiao Yao is back." Why didn't Fang Wei come back? ”

"Ah Jin is not here, why is she coming back?" Fu Qingshuang said casually.

"That's not the case. She is the new daughter-in-law, and there is such a big thing in the family, and Ah Jin is not there, so she will represent Ah Jin's house......"

Before Nangong Wan finished speaking, Fu Qingshuang directly interrupted, "Ah, you mean, Ah Jin asked her not to come back?" ”

Nangong Wan didn't say live, but that's what his expression meant.

Li Songran said: "Jingzhou is not far, I'll go there." ”

"There's one more problem." Nangong Wan looked at Fu Qingshuang and asked, "Who of you knows where Li Mo went?" ”

Fu Qingshuang was stunned, "He doesn't seem to be in Pingyang, do you suspect that he has something to do with this?" ”

Nangong Wan pointed to his head, "He has been ...... Not quite right. So coincidentally, something happened when he was away? I remember that he had no family for a long time, and he didn't listen to anyone except his father. ”

After a while, Fu Qingshuang nodded, "I can check this matter, but if this happens, I may have to leave Pingyang." He looked at Nangong Wan with an uneasy look.

"I live with my mother and Xiao Yao." Nangong Wan said.

"Okay, I've taken a few henchmen and put them in Qingfeng Hall to let them protect you. Lu Wan also has an escort, so it should be fine. Fu Qingshuang smiled, "I will check as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible." ”

Nangong Wan also laughed, "Don't worry, it's nothing more than a quarrel between the sister-in-law and the mother." After thinking about it, he said, "I will persuade my mother." Actually, I also think that no matter what, the funeral should be done beforehand. If you don't do the funeral, the eldest brother can't take the position, but the Nangong clan can't be left without an owner for a day, and letting the eldest brother take care of it first is better than the elders in the second room. I know that my father must be fine, so I will wait for my father to come back and let my father be the patriarch. ”

That night, the order to summon all the Nangong Sect was issued from the Nangong Mansion. But Nangong Pu was still in the ancestral hall, and it was Shen Xueying who issued the order, not only that, but the person who sent the letter was also Mingyuezhuang's cronies in Nangong Mansion.

When Li Songran arrived in Jingzhou, he felt unusual as soon as he entered Qifengzhuang. The one who received Li Songran was Cheng Zhaofeng.

"Long time no see. Ah Jin is not here, Fang Wei has been sick for a month, and she couldn't move a few days ago. The doctor didn't say anything about the illness, but said that he should rest and not move. Brother Zhao is also sick, there is no way, he is old and has many problems, but it is not serious, he just can't move. In addition, Hall Master Li has never been in Jingzhou, and we can't contact her. That, Jing Shangtang hasn't reported in the clan yet, so it doesn't count. It's the Iron Knife Hall, saying that it was withdrawn, and it seems that Ah Jin hasn't said it in the clan, and the hall master is still you. Without waiting for Li Songran to speak, Cheng Zhaofeng finished his words in one breath.

Li Songran was stunned, "What's wrong?" I just want to see my little cousin, what's wrong? ”

Cheng Zhaofeng's eyes widened, "You're not here to urge us to leave for Pingyang?" ”

Li Songran shook his head puzzled, "What are you doing in Pingyang?" When I left Pingyang, my eldest cousin seemed to be doing a funeral, but my aunt would not agree to do it. ”

"Don't you want all the halls under Nangong to go to Pingyang?"

Li Songran frowned, "What did the eldest cousin say? I don't know about it. ”

"Then why did Gongzi Li come to Jingzhou?" It was not Cheng Zhaofeng who said this, but Zhao Fengming who came out of the back room, and it was Yao Fangyu who was supporting him.

Li Songran got up and saluted Zhao Fengming, "I've seen Hall Master Zhao." ”

Zhao Fengming laughed, "I haven't seen you for a while, but I've been divided." ”

Li Songran smiled embarrassedly, "Little cousin, okay." ”

Yao Fangyu smiled and nodded.

"I asked Fang Wei not to go back to Pingyang. Ah Jin is inexplicably wanted, and we can't understand the meaning behind this. Suddenly said that Mr. Nangong passed away, and now listen to what you mean, Pingyang's opinions are not consistent? Zhao Fengming said directly.

Li Songran said: "However, I think Sister Wan's statement is more correct. Although we all believe that our uncle is fine, but the family can't be left without an owner for a day, the second room and the side branches are ready to divide the power of the patriarch, in fact, it is better to let the eldest cousin take charge of the patriarch first. ”

Zhao Fengming nodded, "So, the clan doesn't recognize the eldest prince?" So, the eldest prince wanted to cheer for himself with his subordinates. This is not wrong, but our Jingzhou Hall and Bihai Hall are in a special situation, and it is difficult to say what will happen to Pingyang. If you don't go, you will protect yourself temporarily. ”

"You don't have any news of Ah Jin?" Li Songran asked Yao Fangyu.

Yao Fangyu's expression was a little gloomy, "Ah Jin sent four letters when he arrived in Tianchengwei, and the last one said that he was leaving for the capital, so I didn't want to go back, and he would report his safety when he arrived in the capital." I hadn't seen him for four or five months, and I thought he would be back in Binh Duong and would be back soon. ”

Li Songran was a little disappointed.

Zhao Fengming said with a smile: "Since everyone doesn't believe in Mr. Nangong's affairs, then you might as well stay for the time being and see the situation in Pingyang." ”

Li Songran really didn't think about what to do next, and he didn't know whether to respond for a while.

Zhao Fengming knew what he was thinking, and continued: "Pingyang will not calm down the incident so quickly. As far as we are concerned, first of all, they don't have a way to deal with Ah Jin's matter, and it is difficult for us to deal with it in advance, so we can only see the move. Moreover, we also have to find a way to make Ah Jin's return as safe as possible. Secondly, the position of the patriarch is very involved. I'd rather suggest that Mr. Li stay, and that we be somewhat prepared for what might happen later. ”

Seeing that Li Songran was still silent, Zhao Fengming said: "The four halls in the north have now left Tianchengwei, and they are all under the command of Gao Changjing for the time being. No matter what happens, the strength of nearly 10,000 troops in the four halls, as well as the financial resources of our Jingzhou Hall and Bihai Hall, can support the two brothers to be invincible. But everyone knows this, so timing is very important for how to play this card. ”

Li Songran finally asked, "Has Uncle Zhao contacted Mr. Gao?" ”

Zhao Fengming smiled and nodded.

Nangong Jin identified a direction and walked forward in the mountains, his clothes were ragged and his body was injured, and his speed was not fast. Fortunately, three days later, I finally saw a wooden house and two forest guards. Only then did I know that I had crossed the Luliang Mountains. After resting for two days, I asked for directions and continued to set off.

After two more days of walking, I finally left the mountain. There is a town under the mountain, and I was thinking about whether to steal a horse into Beijing or grab a car to go back to Pingyang, when I suddenly saw my name written on the wanted notice at the city gate. He looked at it twice, but he didn't understand the contents of the wanted notice. Fortunately, the portrait on it does not look like his beggar at all.

Nangong Jin pretended not to know anything, and found a few beggars near the city gate.

"Brother, what's written on it? also drew a human head, which looks quite handsome. Nangong Jin said as he handed over an apple that he had just picked up from a car.

The middle-aged beggar looked Nangong Jin up and down, took the apple and gnawed it without thinking about it, and said vaguely: "That thing, wanted warrant." It's been more than half a month. ”

"What are you talking about?" Nangong Jin pretended to be curious and asked.

The beggar didn't care and said while eating, "He said he was a rich man and killed his father." ”

"That's it?" Nangong Jin asked with wide eyes.

"It's as simple as he said." A young beggar next to him came up, "I've only read it once after listening to a show." The man said triumphantly.

Nangong Jin looked at him, took out an apple from his arms, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Do you know the Pingyang Nangong Clan?" The beggar also took the apple.

Nangong Jin nodded, "I heard that there is money." ”

"That's a lot of money, that's their family. The head of the family died, and it was his son who killed him. ”

Nangong Jin asked puzzledly: "His son killed his father at Pingyang's house?" ”

The beggar was stunned for a moment and muttered, "This ......, the murder is not at home, where else can it be?" ”

Another beggar came up to him, "If you want to hear this, you ask them, huh." It's only written that I killed my father, and I read it after listening to a show. The beggar who came later was full of disgust.

"So, what else is going on?" Nangong Jin stared curiously at the last beggar who came up.

The beggar looked at the apple that Nangong Jin had bitten twice in his hand and did not answer.

Nangong Jin smiled embarrassedly, "Just three." Or, if you don't dislike it......" said as he handed over the apple he had bitten in his hand.

That person really didn't dislike it, so he just took it and gnawed it. "Let's do this, the one who is wanted is the second young master of the Nangong family. This person not only killed his father, but also colluded with the Tatars to kill our Ming people. ”

Nangong Jin rushed out, "Impossible." Hurriedly followed, "And then?" ”

"So, it wasn't his father who killed him at Pingyang's house." The man rolled his eyes at the young beggar just now.

The young beggar said unhappily, "Okay, okay, you know you said, I think you're just talking nonsense." ”

"What a nonsense I am. I have inquired about this matter, I have a friend in Pingyang, saying that the Nangong family has not held a funeral until now, and this matter is very troublesome in Pingyang. It seems that the body has not been transported back yet, in what, Changning Town. There are more than 200 bodies, all of which are the guards of their Nangong family. ”

Changning Town?!

Nangong Jin didn't listen anymore, got up and left.
